Baton Rouge is the capital of the State of Louisiana and second-largest city of Louisiana. The city of Baton Rouge was named over 300 years ago when on March 17, 1699, Pierre Le Moyne, Sieur d'Iberville, led an expedition along the Mississippi River.

The city's earliest written records are found in the diaries of these explorers which tell the tale of a pole stained with blood of fish and animals that served as the dividing line between the Bayougoula and Houmas Indians. It is from this "red stick" that Iberville christened our city "le Baton Rouge."

Baton Rouge is a major industrial and petrochemical center of the American South. The Port of Baton Rouge is the ninth largest in the United States in terms of weight. ExxonMobil has the second largest refinery in the country here and among the top 10 in the world.

Baton Rouge is the farthest inland port on the Mississippi that can accommodate ocean-going tankers and cargo carriers.

The largest employer in Baton Rouge is government, which recently consolidated all branches of state government downtown in a complex called "Capitol Park".
